Q: Q. How do I know if the products are truly Organic and
Natural?
A: This is a question that keeps
arising and one which consumers should demand a truthful and
accurate answer to. This is where consumers get misled as there is
nothing to stop a company from using the word Natural on its product
even if this is not the case. Products only need to consist of one
per cent natural ingredients to be classed as a Natural product and
fifty per cent to be classed as Organic. So read the content of the
ingredients label to be assured that it contains Organic or Natural
ingredients as close to one hundred per cent as possible, any thing
that is seventy per cent or more is adequate. Consumers can also be
reassured by looking out for the Soil Association, Organic
Certified, Ecocert or Natural Ingredient Resource Centre symbols.
Q: Q. What is the Soil Association?A: The Soil Association is a non profit organisation that develops standards for organic products. If a product carries their symbol then it means they have checked that it meets Soil Association standards. For more information on organic products please find link attached-
